It’s finally Friday! What a week! The kids have got me tired out! We have had 2.5 hour rehearsals every day this week and that means a whole lot of yelling and organizing while they run around like hooligans. But, the week is over and now relaxation can begin.
Vijay came over last night and taught us about chakras and meditation. I was in the mood for some asanas, but I think the theory behind the chakras are pretty fascinating. Each "zone" in your body has a specific chakra color and when you do the "om" chanting, it is supposed to cause vibrations in three different body zones. This is why chanting the "om" is so good for your health. Interesting! After the lecture, Vijay negotiated with Nancy to buy her laptop off of her, and I thought about food.
I only have two more weeks of work, which is a strange feeling. I feel like there is still so much that we can accomplish. For example, I would really like to make it over to the vocational school to hold a workshop with the women for the campaign. I’ve talked with the kids about the campaign, so I hope that they understand the concept behind the dance show, but that’s not enough.
I’m a little nervous about traveling after this internship. Mostly worried about my luggage situation (I feel like I have way too much that I am bringing with me, and I’m not sure how to downsize) but also nervous about the people that I’ll be traveling with. I have no idea who these people are and I’m going to be spending 20 days with them! I guess this is how I always feel before departing on a new journey though.
Nothing more to say.
Peace.

Glad it's time for some relaxation - you've put so much energy (and voice) into all your work. It's so cool that you have Vijay and are learning all that you are. I've been so inspired to do it since reading Eat Pray Love and your blog. I wish I could do that now. I do feel like it's missing. Someday.... Maybe by then you'll be my guide?
